Syracuse, NY -- The Syracuse Police Department says it will provide information relating to the Bernie Fine investigation to the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office after a week-long public battle that was due to end up in court Tuesday.

"The Syracuse Police Department will provide the information requested by the Onondaga County District Attorney's Office on Tuesday," the police said in a release around 4 p.m. "As Mayor Stephanie Miner stated, the Syracuse Police Department would turn over all reports and documentation of this investigation at the appropriate time."

Fine, 65, was fired by Syracuse University as associate men's basketball coach on Sunday night amid accusations he molested several boys.

The police's decision comes as federal authorities have taken over the lead in investigating child sex abuse claims against Fine. District Attorney William Fitzpatrick, who the police administration had been feuding with, confirmed that the U.S. Attorney's Office and Secret Service were the lead authorities.

The district attorney said he requested all police documents about the case, from 2002 to the present. As of 4:45 p.m., Fitzpatrick said he hadn't received confirmation from the city's Corporation Counsel and wouldn't comment until he got the documents from the city.

The police's press release noted that federal, not local, prosecutors were calling the shots in the case.

"We have now moved into a new phase of the investigation with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the United States Secret Service taking the lead," the release stated.

The department and Chief Frank Fowler remain "committed to working with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the U.S. Secret Service in this investigation," police said.

The department said it brought the allegations to the attention of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
